Ordered the Canadian version as well as I have to keep up with my complete collection. This band is so damn good. I have only been to Quebec but they make me want to live in Alberta.

I have only been to Quebec but they make me want to live in Alberta. looks like the same version but with signature, right? $40 shipped from canada...not that bad considering it comes with a patch edit :$38.58 US after the conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentytwo Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 hahahahahahaha. Sorry, I've just never heard someone here say that. They certainly romanticize the province at least I think in their music, especially on Hometowns. Lyrics to songs like Frank AB are certainly depressing but make the place sound pretty interesting. Of course songs like Edmonton and Four Night Rider are even better! And not to mention the Ballad of RAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelso330 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Dang too low on funds to grab the gold striped edition! Will wait til hit stores!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not to mention the Ballad of RAA. Yup. Edmonton is one of my favourite songs ever. And every time he says "Edmonton" in Four Night Rider I sing along loudly. I think Don't Haunt This Place is my favourite RAA song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfan4ever80 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Such a good band. I've been waiting for a new release. I ordered through Saddle Creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a typo I suppose, but per their respective sites' the Saddle Creek (US) version is clear with gold splatter while the Paper Bag (Canada) version is black and gold striped (guessing this means black with gold splatter).

Subdomestic Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thanks OP. I heard the new song on the radio yesterday and forgot to see if there was a preorder. So what's this '45/33 flexi-disc' from Paper Bag Records? One side is at 45 and one side is at 33? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's this '45/33 flexi-disc' from Paper Bag Records? One side is at 45 and one side is at 33? "45/33" is the name of one of the songs on the album (track 7), so I assume it's just a flexi with that song on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Potter Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 pre-ordered the metallic gold splatter version! I'm excited for this. I absolutely love the band. I saw them in Philadelphia a few years ago and they are awesome live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuwdboots Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 This is from their previous album (Departing) but is one of my all-time favorite music videos. It even has limited edition vinyl!! RadDonut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patron Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yep. Ordered the Canadian version as well as I have to keep up with my complete collection. This band is so damn good. I have only been to Quebec but they make me want to live in Alberta. They're from Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 They're from Toronto.He grew up in Edmonton, and sings about it, and Alberta in a lot of their songs. The Ballad of The RAA, Deathbridge in LETHBRIDGE, Frank, AB, he name drops Edmonton in Four Night Rider, and then of course there's the song Edmonton. That's just on hometowns. Not sure what currently living in Toronto has to do with his statement. He definitely does romanticize Alberta, not even taking into account the bands name.Oh yeah, there's also Tornado '87 on Departing. Does the love grow, home with the wild rose? Broken down lovers in the city of oil. Sorry, I got carried away. But damn, these guys actually make me proud to be from Edmonton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
